machines plus time and labour cost. For many customers, a typical bean-
to-cup machine could have as much as £1200 a year in service costs, a boiler inspection of £200 (inclusive of engineer) as well as £450 a year in associated cleaning costs. These hidden costs total close to £2000 a year per machine. For larger customers with 50 or more machines this means that NESCAFÉ Milano could save them as much as £90,000 a year, just on service costs. Neil Stephens, Nestlé Professional’s
managing director for UK and Ireland, emphasises that NESCAFÉ Milano is the result of coffee and engineering innovation. “Here is a soluble system that holds its own against
roast & ground in terms of taste, appearance and quality. Drawing on NESCAFÉ’s 70-year coffee heritage and global insight we’ve created what we believe is the most exciting soluble system to hit the out-of-home market in years.” NESCAFÉ Milano has reportedly been several years
in the making, combining the resources from several markets across the globe as well as the Nestlé Global Beverage Centre in Switzerland - the result of product innovation and the application of pioneering machine technology. “With nothing to match it in the soluble coffee systems’
market, NESCAFÉ Milano’s nearest competitor is the roast and ground sector,” added Neil. “But NESCAFÉ Milano has plenty of advantages! Delivering all of the taste, visual appeal and quality - this great system offers customers the opportunity to save on time, labour, training and cost. “We’ve listened to customers and have responded
to the need for quality speciality drinks, but delivered in the most efficient and user friendly way - just the touch of one button. Whether it’s a soluble or a roast and ground solution you offer, NESCAFÉ Milano can offer premium coffee quality, increased efficiency and reduced complexity for the customer and their staff. “We understand that everyone’s business is unique
and different, that’s why our approach is to work with our customers, to understand their needs and to fulfil them in order to build meaningful and long-term relationships. This is backed-up by full training and quality assurance visits to make sure every cup is as good as the first.” NESCAFÉ Milano is only available directly
from Nestlé Professional.

5. Sielaff’s Piacere
Sielaff launches new ‘Piacere’ German manufacturer of hot drinks dispensers, vending machines and merchandisers, Sielaff, has announced the launch of a new compact bean-to-cup machine - the Piacere. Meaning ‘Pleasure’ in Italian, Sielaff contends that the new Piacere certainly
16
lives up to its name, offering a menu of perfectly prepared speciality hot drinks from espresso or cappuccino to latte macchiato or hot chocolate, all prepared at the touch of a button. The Piacere comes in a choice of two
different models - the Mono with one grinder and the Duo with two. Each of these variants is available with
or without a chilled fresh milk module and may be configured with an additional soluble ingredient hopper for chocolate, flavouring or whitener. A hot water tap is standard on all models, making the Piacere a compact beverage centre with up to six different
configurations to suit any catering outlet. The fascia features ten large selection buttons, offered
with the choice of symbol or text labelling. There is also a four-line display, giving details of functions being performed by the machine. A useful feature is a height adjustable swivelling cup shelf to accommodate tall latte glasses or pots up to 190mm tall. At the heart of the Piacere is the precision grinder
mechanism. This has been developed by Sielaff itself and has been ‘road tested’ over several years inside Sielaff’s Sielissimo range. Options include a fresh milk module and a cup warmer
module. Positioned either side of the Piacere, this makes a very effective beverage centre. Other options available include lockable bean hoppers, an additional grinder, a waste bin for coffee grounds, a plumbed drain and a cashless payment system module. Talking of the launch, Sielaff UK general manager,
Karen Nash, commented, “Sielaff will be a new name to many in foodservice and the Piacere represents our first model aimed exclusively at this market. However, much of the original thinking that has gone into the Piacere development has been tried and tested already. Bean- to-cup machines have a reputation for being unreliable. With our pedigree for R&D and traditional values of workmanship, this new machine is set to change all that.”
